Keith Russo was a star, the Native American horse
whisperer everyone was talking about and who had women at
his feet. Unwittingly, aspiring film maker Miranda Sutton
had a hand in Keith's fall from grace. She was part of
the crew who was filming a clinic Keith was giving, and
her boss, Bibi Newman, aimed to seduce Keith, who
rebuffed Bibi's advances. In retaliation, Bibi set
out to ruin Keith's career. A year later, Keith is down
to doing horse gathers. Miranda is working for the Bureau
of Land Management as a videographer documenting the wild
horse round-ups to pacify activists. Keith had noticed
Miranda the year before, but she did not fall for his
seductive act. Keith might still be madly attracted to
her, but Miranda is the last person he wants to see.
Oh the joy and the agony of trying to find suitable words
to express my awe, my wonder, and my gratitude to
Victoria Vane for having written SADDLE UP. The Hot
Cowboy Nights series is just about my favourite
cowboy series, I have loved every book, and SADDLE UP
raises the bar a notch even for Ms. Vane: SADDLE UP is
nothing short of phenomenal. Nobody writes realistic
cowboys like Victoria Vane. The gather of horses is
simply riveting, the descriptions of the Nevada desert
Calico mountains breathtaking; everything in SADDLE UP is
as vivid as a movie. I must say I fell head over heels in
love with Keith; his charisma oozes off the page, but at
the same time, he's confused and confusing at time, and
that's the genius of Victoria Vane's flair for character
building. Keith is a proud and stubborn man who has to
work on identity issues that have plagued him all his
life, and I was completely engrossed in his story.
Miranda is a woman worthy of anyone's admiration; she is
very understanding but she has a steel backbone. For
Keith and Miranda, it was lust at first sight, but it
certainly did not lead to instalove. I loved how the
dynamics changed between the two, and as the story moves
along, Miranda kept surprising me. The dialogues,
especially between Keith and Miranda, are perfect in
their simplicity and their authenticity.
SADDLE UP features some of the most complex and realistic
characters ever written, a relationship that mirrors
life, some extraordinary sequences featuring horse, and
writing so transparent that you only feel and live Keith
and Miranda's story, you don't read words. SADDLE UP is
an exceptional book, don't miss it!
